blucool Posted December 9, 2006 Report Posted December 9, 2006 Hello, can anybody help me with a translation of the signature here? Purchased the sword at an antique mall and have not had much luck making sense of the mei. Thanks! Quote
Nobody Posted December 9, 2006 Report Posted December 9, 2006 Hi, The mei reads Matsuda Jiro (松田次郎). However, I am afraid that the sword may be fake. Quote

jasper Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 The image sends you to a website then tries to install software on your system. Quote
Brian Posted December 11, 2006 Report Posted December 11, 2006 Thanks to the 2 users who picked that up and warned me. I have deleted the link and uploaded the image directly. Can anyone verify if that was a legitimate imageshack page, or a spoofed site? The link was img166.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tsubaandbladedi2.jpg (deleted the http to make it non-clickable) Brian Quote
blucool Posted December 17, 2006 Author Report Posted December 17, 2006 Bad link was not intentional, my apologies if it caused problems for anyone. Thanks for the translation on the mei as well. Quote
